HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN PUBLISHED?

              The Print Edition of Legal Eagle Eye Newsletter for the Nursing Profession has gone out every month starting with October 1992.  Electronic publishing was added in 2002.

 

WHAT IS OUR MISSION?

              Our mission is to reduce nurses’ fear of the law and minimize nurses’ exposure to litigation.  Nurse managers need to spot potential legal problems and prevent them before they happen.  Managers and clinical nurses need to be familiar with how the law is applied by the courts to specific patient-care situations, so that they can move forward and act with confidence.  

         We work toward our goal every month by highlighting the very latest important Federal and state court decisions and new Federal regulations directly affecting nurses in hospitals, long term care facilities and home health agencies.  We focus on nursing negligence and nurses’ employment and licensing issues.

Our readers are busy professionals in nursing management, nursing education, clinical nursing, legal nurse consulting and law. 

 

WHAT PUBLICATION FORMATS ARE AVAILABLE?

Legal Eagle Eye Newsletter for the Nursing Profession is available in print and/or two different electronic formats.  Each format contains the same exact content.  The newsletter is eight pages of content with no advertising.

 

         The Print Edition includes the option also to receive the newsletter in an electronic format at no additional cost.

         Electronic formats include the Electronic/Email Edition and the Online Edition.

         The Electronic/Email Edition is our most popular format.  The newsletter is a PDF file attachment in an email sent to you every month.  On any computer or mobile device you simply click to open, read, download, and/or print the newsletter. 

The Electronic/Email Edition is a format ideally suited to individuals.  It can also be used by large institutions.  Within an institution, like a hospital or university nursing department, an individual subscriber can forward articles to colleagues within the institution.  The content cannot be forwarded outside the institution or posted online.  An example might be a nursing director or director of nursing education who shares articles with nurse managers in individual clinical departments at the hospital.

 

         The Online Edition is a format suited to educational and healthcare facility libraries with multiple users.  We send a link via email for the particular monthly newsletter.  To open the link to the newsletter for that month the subscriber or other users must be using a computer or device whose IP address or range of IP addresses we have authenticated for online access.
